The story of life on earth goes something like this. First God made Adam and then from Adam’s rib he made Eve. That pretty much covers the first two most important things that God created. Next, God created, ranking a close third, British Airways Business Class air travel. And yes, you guessed it, that is where I am sitting right now as I jet from the USA to London with a connecting flight to Milan, Italy.
OMG. Business Class. I paid for a “cattle car” seat aka “economy class, which really means no class at all. What took me so long to get started on this post was that I was running late because the flight from Buffalo had to circle about three times before landing in Philly about 10 minutes late. Next, I find out that I landed at Terminal F and British Air flies out of Terminal A that is only accessible via a shuttle bus. I arrive at the A terminal and of course my flight is from Gate A 17 which is a good 800 meter sprint away. I arrive at the gate and my flight is already boarding. Rows 35 and higher I hear on the speaker. In addition, I did not even have a boarding pass. I think to myself ” I am royally screwed” because usually if an international flight is boarding and you don’t have a boarding pass and you just show up at the gate and of course my airline, BA is on strike. Well I was planning a long night curled up on a plastic bench.
But……………………………. You are going to wait for the rest of this post. I need to get started on my second gin and tonic so I can be ready to start my business class meal.
Also, for those of you who actually read all the way through my ravings you heard me brag in my last post about my asparagus, Asparagi in Italian. Here is a very scenic photo of what I was talking about. circa – May 29, 2010.
I just read an e-mail about asparagi, scientist in South America are doing research about its cancer healing properties. Keep growing them and eating as much as possible.
